ENVIRONMENT |
---|
The substance is very toxic to aquatic organisms. This substance may be hazardous to the environment. Special attention should be given to birds and mammals. |
NOTES |
---|
Reacts violently with fire extinguishing agents such as water and carbon dioxide. Depending on the degree of exposure, periodic medical examination is suggested. The symptoms of lung oedema often do not become manifest until a few hours have passed and they are aggravated by physical effort. Rest and medical observation are therefore essential. Immediate administration of an appropriate inhalation therapy by a doctor, or by an authorized person, should be considered. If a patient vomits after ingestion, collect the vomitus in a plastic bag to prevent emission of phosphine. See ICSC 0694. EU Supplementary Hazard Statements EUH029 ('Contact with water liberates toxic gas') and EUH032 ('Contact with acids liberates very toxic gas') may apply. |
